Israel' Role in Occupied Lands •
TEL AVIV (JTA)—A grim pic-
ture of the situation of the Jews
in Arab countries was presented
by Israel Chief Justice Haim
Cohn, addressing the International
Symposium on Human Rights and
- Minorities' Rights in Times ofyar
and in Occupied Territories'. w
Dr. Binyamin Eliav, deputy edi-
tor of the Encyclopedia Judaica,
spoke of the repression of Soviet
Jewry.
Mrs. Rita E. Hauser, the United
States representative to the United
Nations Commission on, Human
Rights, said that since World
War H the right of self-determina-
tion has not been "limited to peo-
ple rising against colonial rule."
Rather, she said, "it is frequently
an issue between compatriots,
which, if unresolved, contains the
seed of civil and international
conflict."
Dr. Natan Lerner of the World
Jewish Congress' Israeli Execu-
tive lectured on the plight of
minorities during World War IL
The participants in the sym-
posium toured cities and refugee
camps in the West Bank last
Saturday after two days of dis-
cussions at Tel Aviv University.
The host on the tour, Gen.
Shiomo Gazit, coordinator of oc-
cupied-territory activities, charged
that "the good record of the Is-
raeli administration in the terri-
tories occupied since the the Six-
Day War weighed less in the eyes
of the UN, the U.S.A. and Dr.
(Gunnar V.) Jarring than the al-
legations of ED,- pt and the Fatah
spokesman."
Ridiculing the allegations of Is-
raeli "concentration camps" in the
administered areas, Gazit declared
there was more freedom of speech
in those areas than in any Arab
state except Lebanon_ He noted
that tens of thousands of Arabs
seek admittance into Israel dur-

their summer vacations. "Who
ever heard of so many people
voluntarily entering into concen-
tration camps?." he asked.
Gazit rejected Mrs. Hauser's
comparison of the behavior of
American soldiers in Vietnam
with that of Israeli soldiers in
the occupied territories. He
pointed out that 40,000 Arabs
of those territories pass into
Israel daily to work, and that
the stationing of 30-to-40-year-
old reserve soldiers there, an
hour's ride from their families,
has a sobering awl pacifying
influence.
A number of Jordanian Be-
douin chieftains recently visited
the West Bank briefly after their
trip was approved by the Jor-
danian authorities_ Three of them
were of the influential Adwan
tribe, which controls considerable
stretches of land in the Jordan
Valley.
Other recent Jordanian visitors
included a former interior minister
who for several years held high
administrative posts in the West
Bank during the Jordanian occupa-
tion and an official of a Jordanian
embassy in a major Western
capital.

ROME (JTA)—Lebanon's For-
eign Minister Shansi. Abouhamad,
currently on an official visit here,
displayed a "constructive" atti-
tude on the Middle East dispute
in talks with Italian Foreign Min-
ister Aldo Moro, foreign ministry
circles said.
According to the circles, he said
Lebanon's territorial questions with '
Israel must remain governed by '
the 1949 armistice but expressed'
concern over Israel's failure to
withdraw from the occupied ter-
ritories.
Abotthamad said Israel's secu-
rity could best be guaranteed
"within a political framework and
a spirit of coexistence rather than
by territorial changes."
The ministry circles said that
Mom reiterated Italy's support of
a solution based on the Security
Council's Nov_ 22, 1967, resolution_
Moro also stressed that the Pales-
tinian refugee problem was a pol-
itical problem as well as a social
and humanitarian one and must
be resolved if there is to be a
peaceful solution of the Middle
East crisis_
On Jerusalem, Moro reportedly
said that Italy's position has al-
ways been that the city's status
should not be changed prior to a

for the Bnai Brith's Anti-Defama-
tion League told the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that the defense
agency "is doing what the Jewish
community always expected it to
do. and that is to gather informa-
tion on organizations that adverse-
ly affect the security of American
Jews."
The spokesman was commenting
on the continuing criticism of the
ADL from some sections of the
Jewish community for confirming
to the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation last year the identities of
local leaders of the Jewish Defense
League in the Philadelphia area_
The ADL was accused of gratui-
tously "informing" on fellow Jews_
The controversy was raised
here last May 2g in a Friday
evening sermon by Rabbi Arnold
J. Wolf of Cong. Solel of Ifigh-
land Park, who was sharply
critical of the ADL's cooperation
with the FBI in the JDL case.
Four members of the congrega-
tion who are on the executive
committee or staff of the ADL
in Chicago sent a reply in the
form of a letter to fellow emigre-
gantg.
Rabbi Wolf responded with a
letter of his own charging the ADL
with "supporting a discredited
witch-hunt in Washington."
